Oklahoma City, Oklahoma — On August 22, 2022, at approximately 1:18 p.m., Oklahoma City Police responded to the address of 2221 SW 78th St. on reports of multiple gunshots in the area. It was learned quickly that deputies with the Oklahoma County Sheriff’s Office had exchanged gunfire with a person at this residence while serving an eviction notice. Two of the deputies were struck by the gunfire.

As responding officers arrived on scene, they learned the suspect, 35-year-old Benjamin Plank had fled the residence in a vehicle trailering a boat. It was also learned the suspect had loaded several firearms into his vehicle prior to leaving. Benjamin Plank was spotted a short distance from the scene, shortly after the shooting occurred. Oklahoma City Police attempted to stop him on traffic when he refused, initiating a pursuit.

During the pursuit, while travelling northbound on S. I-35, the driver discharged rounds from a rifle at Oklahoma City Officers. Two involved officers were able to return fire toward the suspect. No injuries occurred from the gunfire. The suspect continued eastbound on Interstate-40 from Interstate-35 ultimately exiting at Air Depot Blvd. The suspect stopped at the Tinker Air Force Base gate and surrendered. Benjamin Plank was taken to an area hospital to be checked for injuries and booked into the Oklahoma County Detention Center on a multitude of charges including first-degree murder.

Both officers have been placed on routine paid administrative leave, pending the outcome of the investigation. Benjamin Plank is accused of fatally shooting Sgt. Bobby Swartz and wounding Deputy Mark Johns. Johns has since been released from the hospital. Court documents show that Plank also shot at but missed a third deputy.

  1. Wow proof police are racists here a WHITE MAN shoots is chased shoots at cops get trapped was unarmed and was not shot. I will bet a lot of money if the guy getting out of the truck was black he would have been shot 15 times before his foot hit the ground.

  2. Those cops are torturing that dude holding that tazer on him he wasn’t resisting he was being held by 4-5cops. They really enjoy doing this to people really vindictive & nasty, they must’ve been really bullied bad in school & had no friends & now they get revenge on everyone.. If they don’t like being shot at don’t be a cop that’s part of your job, but they always take it personal, just like here, just holding that tazer on dude for revenge that’s not procedure they are just being pricks.

  3. It's wild to see a video posted by y'all that showcases places I drive by almost every day, haha.

  4. Why didn't the MP's waste that MF? He was armed when he approached the gate a perfect opportunity to send him to the morgue for shooting that officer, RIP for that officer and prayers for his family.
